It is owned by the Musical Arts Association, the orchestra's non-profit parent organization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Blossom Music Center )〕 Blossom Music Center is named after the family of Dudley S. Blossom, who served as president of the Cleveland Orchestra from 1936 to 1938. The site's natural parabolic setting, the pavilion's sloping slate roof, and the area's natural wooded surroundings distinguish it from other contemporary amphitheatres. The facility, designed by architect Peter van Dijk, is located on of natural woods inside the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, about north of downtown Akron and south of downtown Cleveland. There are currently plans to sell of Blossom's undeveloped acreage to the National Park Service to add to the park. As of March 2011, have been purchased by the National Park Service for US $4 million, with hopes for NPS to purchase the remaining unused land in 2012. This would financially benefit the owners and serve to protect the natural setting of Blossom. In 2003, the venue underwent a $17 million renovation. The annual Carnival of Horrors has been held every October since 2003. The amphitheatre has played host to many music festivals, including All That! Music and More Festival, Buzzard Festival, Country Throwdown Tour, Crüe Fest, Crüe Fest 2, Curiosa Festival, EndFest, Furthur Festival, H.O.R.D.E. Festival, Honda Civic Tour, Lilith Fair, Lollapalooza, Mayhem Festival, Ozzfest, Projekt Revolution, Uproar Festival and Vans Warped Tour. The Michael Stanley Band, intensely popular in Northeast Ohio, but virtually unknown elsewhere, set an attendance record, of 74,404, with four sold-out shows, on August 25–26 and 30–31, 1982.〔Faris, Mark.
